THE DIVORCE EVIL


The Only Practicable Way of Securing
Uniform Legislation on This Subject.
As the case now stands, not only do
the grounds for divorce vary almost
with each State and Territory. but the
egan proceedings and the effects Of
DEGREES of divorce are almost equally
and hopelessly diverse. In some States
a residence Of five years by the petit
toner is required; in others the period
varies from three years to ninety days,
while i'm few no residence ut all is re-
quired if the injury complained of Oc-
Cured in the State where the petition is;
filed, and in one rare instance the
mere wish to become a resident suffices
to give the. court jurisdiction of the
case!
The effects of the decree are equally
varied. In some States it completely
dissolves the marriage contract and
leaves the man and the woman in the
same status which they occupied before.
marriage. In others there are diverse
restrictions of the right to marry
again. The evils of such a system are.
well stated by Judge Bennett: "A hus--
band who has obtained divorce i'm one
State on trivial grounds, and which in
some States win be regarded as valid.
in others not, may marry again, and
with his new wife and children travel
through the United States. and in some
places his new relations will be cOnsid-
cred legal and proper, while in others
he will be a bigamist, his new wife q,
paramount and their children illegiti-
mate"
One of the many good results that
would follow the adoption of uniform
system of divorce laws and procedure
throughout the country would be the
breaking up of the swindling practices.
Of ''divorce lawyers" who have long
been public scandal and disgrace.
The only practicable way to secure.
this uniformity is through COngression--
al action, and this would require an
amendment Of the constitution author
izing Congress to establish uniform
laws on the subject throughout the
United States, but little. if any, trouble.
would probably be experienced in get
ting three-fourths of the States to as
sent to such an amendment.
The subject is one of so much prac-
teal importance and the evils of the
present system are SO obvious and glar--
.ng that discussion of the matter should
continue until a public sentiment shall
be created that will demand relief

Mr.. Cleveland has earned for himself
the title of The Great Veto President.
During the existance of the late Congress
he vetoed not less than 1872 bills, being
twenty-one more instances in which the
Presidential veto power had been exer-
cised than by all his predecessors since
the Governments foundation. The death
roll of the late Congress was large. The
Senate's President and three of its men,
bers. and eight members of the House,
died during the term of that Congress.
OF these Illinois lost two-Senator Logan

Henry Ward Beecher.

Last Saturday the startling news was
telegraphed from city to city that the
famous Brooklyn preacher, Henry Ward
Beecher had been stricken with paralysis
and that his recovery was doubtful. In
looking back over the eventful life that
is passing away we find it closely con-
nected with the history of our countye's
life. politically as well as by the broad
influence of the church. In the struggle
against slavery he is conspicuous for his
unfailing courage and deep love for
humanity. OF this movement, it has
been said: Garrison was the pioneer,
Phillips the orator, Brown the soldier,
Sumner the statesman, Greeley the
journalist, Whittier the poet and Henry
Ward Beecher the priestly expounder
and theologian''. About the same time
another voice was heard from the Chris
tan pulpit, Theodore Parker. Unitar-
ian minister, of Boston who died week
before the nomination of Lincoln for
President but Beecher's life was spared
quarter of century after the eman-
cipation. So great was his zeal in the
anti-slavery struggle that the Sharpe's
rifles, in the hands of Brown and The
free State pioneers of Kansas were CAL
led ''Beecher's bibles.''
The high esteem President Lincoln
put upon the services of Beecher is
shown by the mission to which he was
instructed. Delegated to turn public
sentiment in England in favor of the
Union the great orator was met by hos
tility and opposition from all governing
classes. Hefound but two warm friends
and supporters; these were Prince AL
bert and John Bright. BY his untir-
ing energy and wonderful eloquence he
succeeded in turning the sympathies
of the nation and in that way did more
for our Government than any other
man except few of our most famous
soldiers and statesmen. AS pulpit
orator Beecher stood first among Ameri-
can clergyman others may be more
profound or more intellectual but Mr.
Beecher has for quarter of century
preached to the largest and most in
huential congregation in America.
His power lay chiefly in his love for
humanity combined with an
uneaqualed originality in handling
his subjects. The dryest text became
enlivened by his fertility of fancy. We
are rem inded of what"Vanessa' said of
Swift He could write beautiful things
even about broom stick" In his
handling, the most common themes re-
vealed hidden beauties and moral truths
never before shown from any pulpit.
In losing him the Congregational church
looses her best known minister, but the
good he has done will live and influence
the world toward broader and more
charitable religion.
